About
The SITE project addresses the challenge of diversifying tourist flows by promoting inclusive tourism ecosystems.and Universal Design (UD) principles. This involves leveraging ICT to reduce architectural, sensory, and communicative barriers, ensuring destinations are welcoming to all, including families, elderly, and those with disabilities.
The project engages stakeholders across tourism sectors, higher education, research organizations, and NGOs to foster a UD culture through training, cross-border visits, and the development of practical tools like handbooks and assessment instruments. Pilot actions will demonstrate innovative, inclusive solutions, providing valuable insights for enhancing accessibility in tourist destinations across Europe.
SITE's approach centers on creating universally accessible environments that accommodate diverse abilities, guided by participatory research, workshops, and strategic collaborations. By focusing on pre-travel information, navigation at destinations, and enjoyment of public spaces, the project aims to set a new standard for inclusive tourism experiences, promoting social inclusion and economic growth.
